Fans are still disturbed by the Estima Lock showcased by ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion Kade Ruotolo against Tommy Langaker.
Ruotolo made his ONE Championship debut in May 2022, defeating Shinya Aoki by unanimous decision. Five months later, the American superstar took on Uali Kurzhev for the inaugural ONE lightweight submission grappling world title and submitted the Russian by heel hook.
Following his first world title defense against Matheus Gabriel, Ruotolo was matched up against Tommy Langaker in June 2023 at ONE Fight Night 11. After 10 minutes of action, the 20-year-old world champion emerged victorious by unanimous decision.
